"No! It’s not..." Before he could finish, a scream interrupted him as he was sent flying.
"Sect Leader, have rcy!" Even so, he continued begging relentlessly.
He knew that if he didn’t plead for rcy, he might truly end up losing his life.
"Scram!" The Yun Sect Leader didn’t actually intend to kill him; it was just that he had been in a good mood, which was spoiled by bad news.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Sect Leader!" He looked grateful and quickly crawled away from the scene.
Now that his life was spared, he hurried to leave, in case the Sect Leader changed his mind.
After he left, the Yun Sect Leader asked the person beside him, "What do you think of this matter?"
"Not afraid of anything else, just afraid the ’Great Replenishing Pill’ issue might get leaked." That person stood there calmly, straight as a pine tree, making a good impression on others.
The Yun Sect Leader steeled his heart, "Then find that person! I refuse to believe our Yun Sect is so large and yet we can’t find one person..."

When Jiang Nuo woke up, he didn’t see Mu Qiuniang. Instead, he saw a talking Red Dragonfly, a walking Red Lotus, and a pair of Red Carp swimming in the air.
[You’re awake?] The Red Dragonfly cheered at his awakening, excitedly flying around him several tis.
[Are you really the master’s man?] The Red Carp swam around him, asking curiously.
[You don’t look that special, how could the master fancy you? Let tell you, the best-looking one is still our Little Red. Just look at its beautiful tail, like a pink skirt, and its gorgeous scales that can even glitter in the sunlight...]
One Red Carp shyly said, [Stop praising , actually, you’re very beautiful too. Little Carp, see how your tail resembles a blooming flower, so graceful, and your scales are like shining jewels...]
[Really? Really? I also think I look good. I just don’t understand what the master sees in you.]
[I don’t understand either.]
[You should be like , with beautiful scales!]
[Or, like Brother Lotus, with beautiful petals!]
...
anwhile, the walking Red Lotus haughtily declared, [He looks so ugly, I wouldn’t want him to look like !]
Jiang Nuo: He’s human, not an animal, or worse, a plant!
Nevertheless, it was his first ti seeing talking plants and animals, and he found it incredible.
"Where’s my wife?" he asked.
[I don’t know, the master has gone out,] said the Red Carp, flicking its tail.
[Hmph! You made the master angry, of course, she won’t pay attention to you!] declared the Red Lotus.
For so reason, Jiang Nuo had no idea where a plant’s eyes were, but he felt the Red Lotus was looking down on him.
But thinking about it, he realized his actions in the "dream" were a bit regrettable. Mu Qiuniang had saved him with good intentions, yet he admonished her for "killing soone." She probably...
[You’re sighing? Why are you sighing? The master saved you, shouldn’t you be happy?] The Red Carp didn’t understand.
"Is the cultivation world really so ruthless?"
[It has always been quite cruel,] the Red Carp was more puzzled, not understanding why he would ask such a question, [We don’t dare to go out. As demons like us, even if we’ve never hard anyone, we’d easily be mistaken for bad demons once outside the Hidden Immortal Sect. They’ve never even asked if we’ve hurt anyone, it’s completely unfair...]
[Exactly, exactly, we’re clearly good demons, we’ve only ever cultivated diligently, never harming anyone!]
[Sigh... After the founding of the new China, demons were forbidden to beco spirits. Now there are fewer and fewer demons; who knows when we’ll be able to cultivate to human form.]
[I think by the ti we manage it, the master would have already ascended!]
[Boo hoo hoo... Not being able to ascend with the master makes so sad!]
[ too!]
The two Red Carp whimpered like children, their tear drops rolling down freely, so even landing on Jiang Nuo, icy cold, like ice just taken out of the freezer.
"So cold!"
[Of course, it’s cold! They’re Ice Carp!] the Red Dragonfly chid in, [Do you still rember ? I’ve been to your house before, that’s where I t the master. Later, the master brought here, and it’s where my cultivation began... The master gave a very nice na, I’m called Mu Wanqing!]
Compared to the Red Lotus, the Red Dragonfly seed much more amiable toward Jiang Nuo.
Although it didn’t understand why the master seed so sad upon waking, or why the master’s man asked such questions, it responsibly explained, [Though I don’t know why you’d ask that, I can feel that sothing must have happened between you and master, and she’s very upset! You hurt her feelings, and that makes us sad too, which is why Brother Lotus doesn’t want to talk to you. Please don’t be mad!]
"I’m sorry, I’ve encountered so things and have so knots in my heart that I can’t untangle right now..." Jiang Nuo said. "But don’t worry, nothing will happen. Qiuniang and I have been together for so many years without any conflicts. This is the first ti we’ve had a minor disagreent over differing worldviews. The sooner it’s discovered, the sooner it can be resolved. Once I’ve unraveled this knot in my heart, we’ll make up..."
Jiang Nuo could guess that most of the problem lay with him. Being born in peaceful tis, he really couldn’t accept killing, which was why he reacted so strongly when he saw her kill.
Although he never asked, since discovering she was a cultivator, so mysteries subtly unraveled: Why did she always enjoy wearing clothes with an ancient style? Why was her calligraphy and ink painting so excellent? Why did her manners sotis resemble those of an ancient person? Why she...
Perhaps, she truly was soone who lived in ancient tis!
Even if he didn’t confirm it with her directly, simply knowing she was of such a high seniority level showed her actual age couldn’t be that young.
But even so, when he t her, he fell in love. It didn’t matter about age, experience, or anything else; he only knew he t her and loved her, and that was enough!
Now, they both needed ti to "cool off," especially him.
[So when will you guys make up?]
Jiang Nuo didn’t answer directly, instead, he asked the Red Dragonfly when they had t.
The straightforward Red Dragonfly imdiately told him the specific day, then was easily diverted as Jiang Nuo changed the topic.
The Red Carp didn’t see anything wrong and eagerly chid in, recounting how they initially thought the Red Dragonfly was a scamr when it first arrived at the Hidden Immortal Sect.
The Red Lotus seed exasperated: How could these demons be so foolish? We’re clearly being led on, please don’t say you know them.
Forget it! Better let it slide!
The Red Lotus opened its precious mouth, [Don’t you want to know what the cultivation world is like? It’s actually simple; just find soone from the Hidden Immortal Sect and have them take you to see the real cultivation world...]
